Taken it for two weeks. Read that it was a fast acting drug— had a one inch black hair on my chin after 5 days. Nothing else. I am craving sweets— unusual for me

I can be grateful, I have not grown any dark hairs. Did you take chemo or radiation?

Hello @suzcook and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Have you stayed on it despite the hair growth? How are you feeling otherwise?

I did not let one hair discourage me. Am not feeling anything noteworthy. Good, because this is a five year medication

Oh wow. I hope that you don’t have any more side effects.
